International Red Cross Movement "shocked, saddened" by volunteer deaths in CAR - China.org.cn: GENEVA, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement said Wednesday it was "shocked and saddened" by the violent deaths of six Red Cross volunteers earlier this week in the Central Africa Republic (CAR).

The Red Cross said the volunteers were taking part in a crisis meeting at a health facility in Gambo in Mbomou prefecture in the southeast of the Central African Republic on Aug. 3.

The exact circumstances of the deaths are not yet clear. However, reports indicate that civilians and medical staff may also have been killed.

"The Red Cross Movement strongly condemns this incident, the third such attack in CAR to claim the lives of Red Cross personnel since the beginning of the year," the statement said.
